    A renowned persimmon leaf sushi restaurant located in front of the Kimpusen-ji Temple’s Zao-do hall in Yoshino Town, Yoshino County, Nara Prefecuture. This long-standing restaurant continues to follow the same traditional recipes used since it was established in the Taisho period. Persimmon leaf sushi is mackerel sprinkled with salt on a bed of vinegared rice wrapped in a persimmon leaf, which has antibacterial properties. This traditional local dish was originally conceived of as a way to bring fish deep into a mountainous region far from the sea. Each piece is carefully pressed by hand to create a delectable treat with the proper flavor balance; in addition to being available for purchase as souvenirs, the shop has an eat-in space where you can enjoy some persimmon leaf sushi right there. The shop’s seasonal noodle dishes and set options are also popular.

    念願の吉野の桜を見に行ってきました。満開には少し早い日でしたが、3万本あるというシロヤマザクラは、それはそれは素晴らしい眺めでした。 昼食は、金峯山寺の蔵王堂入り口近くにあった、「柿の葉寿司やっこ」さんでいただきました。柿の葉寿司は吉野が発祥だというので、桜とともに楽しみにしていたんです。 いただいたのは、当店のおすすめと書かれていた「うどんセット」。きつねうどんと柿の葉寿司が4個のセットメ...

    This is a specialty shop for Kakinoha-zushi established for over 50 years in Yoshinoyama, Yoshino Town, located in a building over 50 years old along Prefectural Route 15.

During cherry blossom season it is also possible to dine inside the shop.

    蔵王堂の少し上手。柿の葉寿司の専門店。 ばら売りはないので、一番小さい箱950円を買って、食べ比べ。ここの鯖は、寿司の一面をしっかり覆う大きさがあって、大将の几帳面さがよく分かります。大きさもあって、ヘビータイプの柿の葉寿司かなと思います。

    正午ごろバスで奥千本入口に行ってしまい、昼食をとりっぱぐれ、ランチタイムを大幅に過ぎた3時半に利用しました。他の店では完売もちらほら見かける中、開いていてよかった。 鴨葛うどんと柿の葉寿司の定食を注文。出汁が空腹の極限だった胃袋に染みわたり、柿の葉寿司の酢飯が食欲倍増、とても美味しく頂きました。 接客してくれたのはバイトの若い男の子で、気持ちよく食事ができました。

    蔵王権現のご開帳に合わせて吉野を訪れました。こちらの柿の葉寿司は紅葉した柿の葉を使用されていてとても風情があります。目の前で包んで頂きました。季節限定品で、日持ちも通常のものより短いそうです。 頂いた方はとても喜ばれると思います。

    食べ物屋なんで・・・然程の評価は出来ません、1000年位経過していれば別ですが。ここは歌舞伎の舞台「つるべすし弥助」で有名らしいが、大体、歌舞伎なんてわたし的には全く興味も無いし、造詣も深くない。いずれは滅び行く伝統芸能程度にしか思ってないので、ここがその舞台って云われても・・・何とも感じない。当主は49代目と云う老舗らしい。弥助庭園とか案内もしていただいたけど・・・料理そのものは全国レベルから価...

    梅林から帰りに利用しました。駐車場は狭いです。入って直ぐに、柿のは寿司の販売と奥にちょつとした飲食のスペースが有ります。柿の葉すしと、うどん(そば)のセツトメニューで、すしは美味しいが、麺は細麺で味は普通です。ガツツリ食べたいなら物足りないかも。

    例年であれば、元日にここにサバを食べに行くのだが、今年は年の瀬に寄ってみた。小さなイートインスペースで、お茶のサービスをもらってサバを食べる。海なしの奈良県のしかも山の中の五條でサバが食べられるのは、柿の産地だから。柿の葉の作用のお陰だ。

Nara Areas

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
